I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high O' er vales and hills,
When all at once i saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Countinous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretch in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay;
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

EXAMPLE POEM:
"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"
By: William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high O' er vales and hills,
When all at once i saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Countinous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretch in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay;
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
